April 10, 2025 - May 31, 2025
Developed through a collaboration between the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the LGBT Purge Fund, this powerful exhibition sheds light on a painful chapter in Canada’s history while celebrating the resilience and courage of those who fought for justice.
From the 1950s to the 1990s, the Government of Canada systematically investigated, harassed, and expelled 2SLGBTQI+ members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and federal public service in what became known as the LGBT Purge.
The exhibition shares personal stories of those impacted by the LGBT Purge and highlights the activism that led to lasting legal and social change.
Access to Love in a Dangerous Time is included with a general admission ticket to the Heritage Centre galleries until May 31, 2025. Individuals who identify as Survivors of the LGBT Purge are invited to view the exhibit for no cost.
